How was everyone's Christmas? Yes, that feels like ages ago (and I guess it kind of was!) but I know that we have been busy this month getting back into the swing of things after all of the holiday excitement as I am sure you have as well.

I wanted to take the time to share with you one of the awesome gifts our sons got this year. It is a Mini Micro Scooter from Kickboard and we are loving it! I say we because I am so impressed with the quality of this scooter and how perfect it is for my smaller guys. Let me share with you some of the features that make it different from other scooters I have seen or purchased before.

The Mini Micro is made for kids 3-5 years of age and I have found that both my 3 year old and 5 year old can ride it comfortably (and safely!). It has 3 wheels and the base is really low to the ground which makes it very stable. They can stand on it with 2 feet and not have it tip over. The stability alone is enough to make me fall in love with this scooter. My 5 year old has tried to ride a different brand scooter and gets terrified when it starts tipping. That doesn't happen with the mini micro. It also has a lean-and-steer handle bar that makes it manageable and a safety brake at the back for easy stopping. And at 3.3 lbs, it is light enough for the little guys to carry on their own. Right out of the box my boys were able to get the hang of it and were riding around like pros in a matter of minutes. We are confined to trying it indoors since the weather is still lousy here, but that didn't stop them from having fun. Here's Jordan all smiles over his new scooter:

Oh, and did you notice the fun red color? Red is Jordan's favorite color which makes the scooter even more awesome in his eyes! They have a whole line of fun bright colors so that you can pick the one that perfectly suits your kids taste. Want to know more? Kickboard's kick scooters come in all sizes and varieties to suit kids from age 1 (you have to see the cute sit and stand scooter!) all the way up to a 2 wheel scooter for teenagers.

What great gifts did your kids get this year that both you and they fell in love with? Feel free to share in the comments, it's always nice getting some new ideas that come recommend from parents themselves.
